Here’s the link to the latest weekly build of darktable 5.5, https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/eryrxkbacr7jv2vf851kx/darktable-5.5.0-259.g23b9e9af19-win64.exe?rlkey=v5tqitet7xor8tun2l0oqvryy&st=j85qgfqg&dl=0. The list of latest changes is at Comparing 4f4d66449e…23b9e9af19 darktable-org/darktable · GitHub

A couple of notes. I’m no longer the builder for the Windows package and it will be built by the automated build packages. The linked build is the Sunday nightly build of darktable.

With 5.4.1 being released this week, merging has begun for all of the PR’s that were waiting on 5.4.1.

Yes, and thank you for building Darktable on Windows all those years!

I finally felt brave enough to install the overnight Windows build in order to experiment with Local Contrast RGB. Unfortunately, I cannot find the module via text search, or manage presets, or otherwise.

Any help would be much appreciated.

try this; I simply googled : nightly builds darktable and chose the github link.

Thanks. My original post was potentially ambiguous so I have now edited it.

I have 5.5.0.268 up and running, but cannot find Local Contrast RGB module anywhere within it.

This module has not been merged to master yet. I don’t even think there is a PR for it. So you’ll have to compile it yourself.

@priort probably has a package. :slight_smile:

Thank you. This was a misunderstanding on my part (I understood the ‘master’ versions to be the official releases).

Late last year Dave Goldberg kindly uploaded a zipped Windows version of 5.3, which included AGX, which has led to my thinking the nightly builds included experimental modules.

‘master’ is the name of the main development branch, where changes accepted for a future release land. ‘master’ builds are not releases, think of them as ‘alpha’ or ‘development preview’.

The new modules are initially developed on their developers’ own branches, and have to be accepted (merged) into the common code base when they are mature enough.

Thanks. I now understand how the process works.

Whilst I’ve got your attention, I would like to convey a huge thank you for producing AGX, which I have thoroughly enjoyed using, and which has completely transformed my raw developing. I absolutely love it!

You can get the latest proposed stuff in this version…I’ll build for windows later today and update in that thread

Thank you. A zipped up copy of an installation folder will do, because I can run that as an independent portable app via a batch file.

I am on something of a learning curve this week. For several years I have imagined that I had been keeping abreast of all of the darktable discussions by following this thread… darktable - discuss.pixls.us

This morning I have discovered countless other darktable threads at https://discuss.pixls.us/ and realise that I have only been reading half of the story .

I note that @priort has kindly uploaded a zipped-up Windows installation, but unfortunately the dropbox link reports the file as being deleted.

Try again…seems to work on my end……

15

No joy I’m afraid. I get the same result with different browsers, and can access Dropbox files from other users.

16

Works for me…

Is this the link you are using…

I have no idea what is going on, but thank you, the above link worked, and I have now successfully downloaded the zip file.

I was previously using the link that you posted on the Contrast thread 13 hours ago. That appears to be different to the link you posted on the Base Curve thread (also 13 hours ago), which, in turn, matches the working link above.
